1 ASPHALT PLANT LEVEL 1 Module 6: Maximum Specific Gravity FM 1 T 209 FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 1 Specification Year: January 2015 The terms Gmm or Maximum Specific Gravity or Rice gravity are often used interchangeably Release
2 FM 1 T 209 Maximum Specific Gravity The maximum specific gravity (Gmm) of asphalt mix is the ratio of the weight of the loose sample to the weight of an equal volume of water at the standard temperature of 77 F (25 C). Compaction requirements are usually based on the % of the maximum gravity which is achieved inplace FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 2 The maximum specific gravity test is one of the most important tests run on the mix. It is the basis for all volumetric calculations including air voids and density. It accounts for the specific gravity of the aggregate gradation and is influenced by the source of the aggregate, and also accounts for the asphalt binder in the mix. It is crucial that proper procedures are used since the test is the basis for many other values used in the determining the quality of the mix. Release
3 FM 1 T 209 Equipment Vacuum pump Able to evacuate to a residual absolute pressure of 30 mm Hg Bleeder valve used to slowly release pressure Manometer Readable to 1 mm Directly to vacuum in line, close to source FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 3 Listed Aon the next two slides is the equipment needed to conduct this test. The test method is FM 1-T 209. Release
4 FM 1 T 209 Equipment Orbital shaker Orbit of 3/4 inch Able to shake 2 containers at a time Stop watch (timer) Valves FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 4 More equipment. Release
5 Valves Manometer Timer Orbital Shaker Vacuum Pump FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 5 Shown here is a typical setup in a production lab. Other setups are used and vary in piping and the location of the pump/manometer. But, it is important that all the required elements are present in any setup. Release
6 Moisture trap one or more 1,000 ml flasks Desiccator purple = dry pink = needs to be dried FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 6 A close-up picture of the orbital shaker, vacuum lines, desiccators, and vacuum pump. One of the keys for longevity of the vacuum pump is a series of moisture traps that include the use of a desiccant (moisture absorbing material). Allowing moisture to get into the pump will cause it to fail, and good quality pumps are expensive. Release
7 FM 1 T 209 Equipment Thermometer Containers 2,000 ml flasks Top surface smooth and plane Paper towels Glass plates Brush Hoses and connections FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 7 The remainder of the equipment needed to run this test is shown. Release
8 Equipment Hose Rinse bottle Flasks Beaker Glass plate Paper towel Digital thermometer Brush FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 8 Shown here is a typical setup showing the testing equipment needed to conduct the maximum specific gravity test. This method is also commonly referred to as the Rice test, named after the inventor, Jim Rice. Release
9 FM 1 T 209 Equipment Balance minimum 4,000 gram capacity nearest 0.1 gram FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 9 The first step in conducting this test is to calibrate the flask. A capable and accurate scale meeting these requirements is needed. A scale like this will be common in the asphalt testing lab. Release
10 Calibrate once a month, or if dry weight change is > 0.4g. Fill flask with water at o F Use cover plate to get accurate filling Do not trap air Weigh flask and water FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 10 The next step is to determine the volume of the inside of the flask. Weigh the empty dry flask and cover plate to get a dry weight. Fill the flask completely with water and use a cover plate. Make sure the water temperature has stabilized to o F. Slide on the cover plate. Getting the cover plate on properly (no entrapped air in the flask) takes a little practice, but can be mastered in a short time. Once the flask is full of water and the outside of the flask wiped dry, it is weighed again. Subtracting the empty flask weight from the flask plus water weight leaves the water weight. The water weight in grams is equal to the volume of the flask in cubic centimeters, as 1 gm = 1 cc, at a standard temperature of 77ºF. This step should be done ahead of time prior to the mix samples arriving, so there is no delay. Calibrate once a month, or if dry weight change is > 0.4g. Fill flask with water at F. Use a cover plate to get accurate filling. Do not trap air. Weigh flask (with cover plate) and water. Release
11 FM 1 T 209 Samples Obtain by FM 1 T 168 Total sample size = 2,000 to 2,200 grams Divided into two 1,000 to 1,100 gram samples Condition samples Cool and separate particles FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 11 The next step is to obtain the mix samples, as shown in an earlier module. Secure a sample size of 2,000-2,200 grams. The test consists of running two complete samples weighing 1,000 to 1,100 grams each. These samples are conditioned in the oven for one hour to simulate haul time. From the Specifications. Sampling and Testing Requirements: Prior to testing volumetric samples, condition the test-sized sample for one hour ± five minutes at the target roadway compaction temperature in a shallow, flat pan, such that the mixture temperature at the end of the one hour conditioning period is within ± 20 F of the roadway compaction temperature. Once the conditioning period is completed, the Rice samples are cooled and tested, as shown in the following slides. Obtain by FM 1-T 168. Total sample size = 2,000 to 2,200 grams. Divided into two 1,000 to 1,100 gram samples. Condition samples. Cool and separate particles. Release
12 Gmm Video FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 12 The video shown here walks through the steps to run a Gmm test including the flask calibration. The time in compressed to show the main steps. This is a very important test as it serves as the foundation for the air voids and density calculations. Following the procedure without inducing shortcuts is critical. Release
13 Separate particles to less than 1/4 inch. Warm if necessary. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 13 As the mix cools, the agglomerations or chunks of asphalt need to be separated by hand. Simply rubbing the mix between your hands is normally sufficient. The goal is to separate any chunks of fine sand and asphalt binder to less than ¼ inch in size. We do not want trapped air bubbles left in the mix at this stage. It will affect the test results. If the mix cools off too rapidly, it may need to be warmed enough to separate the chunks. Separate particles to less than ¼ inch. Warm if necessary. Release
14 Add cooled sample to flask and weigh. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 14 Once the mix is sufficiently separated, add the sample to the flask (make sure you get the entire sample from the pan) and weigh. Again, we are going to run two flasks and then compare and average the results. Each flask will contain ½ of the Rice sample. Add cooled sample to flask and weigh. Release
15 Shake container until mix moves freely. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 15 Shake the container gently to make sure the mix has not recombined or chunked up again. No trapped air pockets. Shake container until mix moves freely. Do not pound on the flask! This can cause it to break. A broken flask means start over. And it can cause a serious injury. Release
16 Add wetting agent to the water to help remove air. 1,000 ml H 2 O + 1 ml aerosol. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 16 The next step is to partially fill the flask, covering the sample completely. A wetting agent, such as aerosol, is used at the rate of 1 ml per 1,000 ml of water. The water and aerosol is mixed (see picture) and poured into the flask. Add wetting agent to water to help remove air. 1,000 ml H 2 O + 1 ml aerosol. Release
17 Add water to flask. Only partially fill. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 17 The next step is to partially fill the flask, covering the sample completely. Release
18 Put stopper in and adjust vacuum to mm Hg. Achieve within 2 minutes =30mm FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 18 Most laboratories are using digital manometers. Shown is the mercury-filled type. If broken and the mercury spills, proper clean up and disposal procedures are required. The stopper is placed into each flask and they are loaded in the orbital shaker. The pump is turned on and the manometer is adjusted to read a residual pressure of 30 mm of mercury ± 2 mm within 2 minutes. Shown here is a residual manometer. You calculate the total pressure by adding up each leg of column of mercury. There are also digital manometers available. Many labs are trying to eliminate the use of mercury. Put stopper in and adjust vacuum to mm Hg. Achieve within 2 minutes. Release
19 Shake continuously with orbital shaker ( rpm) for minutes. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 19 Next, the sample is agitated while the vacuum pump removes the air. The orbital shaker is turned on and adjusted to rpm. The duration of this part of the test is minutes. Set a timer. Shake continuously with orbital shaker ( rpm) for minutes. Release
20 Slowly bleed pressure off. Remove stopper. Start a timer for 10 ± 1 minutes. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 20 Once the 15 minutes of orbital shaking have elapsed, turn off the pump and slowly bleed the pressure off the flasks. Set the timer for 10 minutes and the next series of steps need to be completed in that time. Slowly bleed pressure off. Remove stopper. Start a timer for 10 ± 1 minutes. Release
21 Slowly fill with water. Remove entrapped air. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 21 Immediately fill the flasks slowly with water to within ½ inch of the top of the flask. Pouring slowly ensures no air is forced into the sample. The goal is to get the flasks filled and the water temperature stabilized to 77ºF + 2ºF as quickly as possible. Slowly fill with water. Remove entrapped air. Release
22 Determine the temperature. Adjust as necessary to 77º ± 2º F. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 22 If the water temperature is outside that range, remove some water and adjust with either warmer or cooler water. Determine the temperature. Adjust as necessary to 77º ± 2º F. Release
23 Fill flask with water and cap with glass plate. Use caution not to trap air. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 23 Between the 9th and 11th minute after releasing the vacuum, fill the remainder of the flask with water and ease on the cover plate using caution to not trap any air. This takes a little practice to master. Fill flask with water and cap with glass plate. Use caution not to trap air. Release
24 Carefully dry the outside of the flask and around the cover plate. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 24 Keeping some pressure on the cover plate. Wipe down the flask, including the cover plate. Carefully dry the outside of the flask and around the cover plate. Release
25 Weigh the flask with contents and the plate. Complete between 9 11 minutes. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 25 Weigh the filled flask. The requirement is to complete this entire process in 10 minutes + 1 minute. Weigh the flask with contents and the plate. Complete between 9-11 minutes. Release
26 Dryback Procedure The dryback procedure, which is used to determine the saturated surface dry (SSD) weight, will not be performed during production. The Gmm correction factor will be determined at the mix design stage. The correction factor will be included on the mix design and used during production. Gmm, SSD =A/(B+D E) Gmm, dry =A/(A+D E) FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 26 The dryback procedure, which is used to determine the saturated surface dry (SSD) weight, will not be performed during production. The Gmm correction factor will be determined at the mix design stage. The correction factor will be included on the mix design and used during production. For reference: When the dryback procedure is used, the maximum specific gravity (Gmm, SSD) is calculated as follows: Gmm, SSD =A/(B+D-E) When the dryback procedure is not used (in situations where a correction factor will be used), the formula is modified as follows: Gmm, dry =A/(A+D-E) The correction factor is determined from two Gmm tests (four flasks) using the dryback procedure. This value is referred to as Gmm, SSD. Additionally, for the same two tests, the maximum specific gravity, Gmm, dry, is calculated. For each of the two tests, the Gmm, dry is subtracted from the Gmm, SSD. These two differences are then averaged to obtain the correction factor. During production, the correction factor is then added to the Gmm, dry values to obtain corrected Gmm, SSD values. The correction factor is either a negative value or equal to zero. Gmm, SSD #1 Gmm, dry #1 = Difference #1 Gmm, SSD #2 Gmm, dry #2 = Difference #2 Difference #1 + Difference #2 = Sum of Differences Sum of Differences 2 = Correction Factor Gmm, dry + Correction Factor = Corrected Gmm, SSD Release
27 Drain the water through a 75 m (200 mesh) sieve. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 27 Following the weighing, start the dryback process. Drain the water through a 200 mesh sieve so that no particles are lost. Drain the water through a 75 mm (200 mesh) sieve. Release
28 Empty as much mix as possible into a clean pan. Rinse the flask over the sieve. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 28 Once the water is removed, dump the mix into a flat rimmed pan. Rinse the flask out over the sieve. We need to get ALL the mix out of the flask. Empty as much mix as possible into a clean pan. Rinse the flask over the sieve. Release
29 Rinse any mix material left in the sieve into the pan. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 29 Rinse out flask onto sieve. Once the flask is completely empty, rinse the mix particles caught on the sieve into the pan. There should be no mix left in the sieve. Rinse any mix material left in the sieve into the pan. Release
30 Remove as much water as possible without losing any sample. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 30 Tilt the pan slightly and let the excess water drain to one end. Blot out water being careful not to remove any of the mix sample. Remove as much water as possible without losing any sample. Release
31 Spread and dry the sample in front of a fan. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 31 As shown in the picture, spread the mix out in the pan into one thin layer and place in front of a fan. The mixture should be stirred at frequent intervals to facilitate uniform drying. Spread and dry the sample in front of a fan. Release
32 Weigh every 15 minutes. SSD is when the weight loss is less than 0.5 grams. Stir intermittently. FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 32 Set a timer and weigh the pan at 15 minute intervals. The saturated surface dried (SSD) condition is reached when the weight loss is less than 0.5 grams in 15 minutes. Stir the mix intermittently. Once SSD condition has been reached, obtain the final weight and proceed to the calculations that follow. Weigh every 15 minutes. SSD is when the weight loss is less than 0.5 grams. Stir intermittently. Release

The test results must be within of each other to be considered a valid test. Release
39 FM 1 T 209 Calculations Flask 1 max. gravity = Flask 2 max. gravity = Difference is Are results OK? If OK, report average = ( ) / 2 = FDOT Course Release: 10, Module 6 39 This comparison is shown on based on the example problem. The difference between the two tests is 0.008, which is less than the allowed. The test results are considered OK. (They compare). Finally, the two test results are averaged together. This is the final Gmm of the sample. Release
